ARTE VIVA 2008 

A WEEKEND OF LIVE ART AND ENTERTAINMENT

SATURDAY JULY 12 and SUNDAY JULY 13

FROM: 18.00h until 24.00h.

ATTRACTIONS FOR EVERYONE WHATEVER THEIR AGE OR INTERESTS

The aim of this annual event is to blend multinational creative artists working live in different media with other
examples of live art in the form of music, dance, fashion, jugglers and fire-eaters, clowns, drumming and much more, 
performed by international artists, to culminate in a vibrating international festival of live entertainment, unique 
in the Algarve.

Children will also have the opportunity to practice their talents, under supervision, in a “kid’s corner” with 
painting, face painting, balloon sculpting and other spontaneous creative pastimes.

Especially honoured will be the children of the São Brás schools who have taken part in the Arte Viva Juvenil art 
competition. Their works of art form an integral part of the festival and will be judged by a jury of the 
international artists present. The prize giving will take place on Sunday evening at 20.30h and prizes will be 
presented by the Algarve representative of the Ministry of Culture, Eng. Gonçalo Couceiro, who has a profound 
interest in bringing art and culture into schools and the local community.

The bands Nanook and Jazztaparta will provide swinging live music on Saturday, whilst on Sunday, the Line Dance 
formation, Faz Fato, will open the musical interlude followed by the Brazilian rhythms of Tinto Beat. The World 
Music of the famous Mare Nostrum will close the show.

International snacks and beverages will be available all through the festival.

Entrance fee at the gate:€ 4,00, children free.
